Can I Have Your Permission Please?

W

wASP

Hi,

Apparently, I have a permissions issue. I am logged in as administrator,
and my C: drive is accessible. Under the "Security" tab for Properties
for Inetpub, for my "Internet Guest Account," the "Allow" boxes
for [read & execute], [list folder contents], and [Read] are checked
- BUT they are greyed out - I cannot clear them - and nothing else
is checked.

Now that I look further, the same thing is the case for every folder
in the root that I examined.

I'm a newbie starting up with ASP.NET,
and I'm getting off to a wonderful start
- and when I tell you "wonderful" I'm being sarcastic.

My OS is Win 2000 SP4.

I've gotten IIS installed, along with the .NET framework.

I have the .NET Framework 1.1 configuration tool in Administrative tools,
along with the Wizards. I have opened the configuration tool,
but I have no idea as to what I'm looking at.

My code is about as simple as it can get:
===============================================
<%@ Page Language="C#" %>

<script runat="server">
void page_load(object obj, EventArgs e)
{ lblMessage.Text = "Hello World";
}
</script>

<html><body>
<asp:Label id="lblMessage" runat="server"/>
</body></html>
===============================================

... right from the book.

I put the file into my webroot directory:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\

... and this URL into the IE6 address bar:
http://localhost/HelloWorld01.aspx

When I hit "GO" I get the following error message:
===================================================================

Server Error in '/' Application.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Server cannot access application directory 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\'.
The directory does not exist or is not accessible because of security settings.

===================================================================


BEFORE anyone asks, I cleaned out the cash for the browser ...

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\
(for IE6)

... and it still doesn't work.


So this is going just "wonderfully". :-(


Does anyone know what I can do to solve this permissions issue?


Thanks In Advance!

Hi again,

I've found the following kb article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316721

I did the following, as instructed by the article:
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
RESOLUTION
To add read, execute, and list access for the ASPNET account
on the root Web site or on any virtual directory, follow these steps:
1. In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder that contains
the root Web site (which is C:\Inetpub\Wwwroot by default)
or the virtual directory.

2. Right-click the folder, and then click Properties.

3. On the Security tab, click Add.

4. Type ComputerName\ASPNET (for example, on a computer named Webdev,
type Webdev\ASPNET), and then click OK.

5. Allow the following permissions for the ASPNET account:
• Read & Execute
• List Folder Contents
• Read

6. Click OK to close the Properties dialog box and to save the changes.


NOTE: You do not need to perform these steps if the Everyone group or the
Users group has read access to the root Web site or virtual directory.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::



What happens now, when I load the address in the address bar of IE6
(http://localhost/HelloWorld01.aspx), then click on GO,
I get a box prompting me for a username, password, and domain.

This is progress - I think - but what do I do to get it to stop
prompting me for this and execute the friggin' code?


Thanks In Advance!

Assuming anonymous access is acceptable ....

Right-click "My Computer" and select manage

Navigate to "Services..." ---> "IIS" ---> <your site>

Rightclick <your site> and select properties ....

Click tab: "directory permissions"

Click "edit" button

Remove any ticks (check marks) against the authentication options.

Ensure Anonymous is ticked (checked)

Actually, it's "directory security" (in Win2k) - but I know what you mean.

Click "edit" button

Remove any ticks (check marks) against the authentication options.

THAT solved it - it's official: You're a genius!


Thank you William Tasso!
